Think grain terminals, feed stores, grain loading yards for rail cars etc. Pigeons are all over the place you just have to look and talk to folks.

You can get them at the Langley auction for cheap.

Go to the Vye road rail crossing off Sumas Way. Go walk up the tracks to the north, set your traps then go have breakfast and a coffee come back and pick them up. My son used to trap them for us there all the time before he started raising his own. Good luck Lad.

Could also try contacting the the BC Falconer's Association.

You clearly haven't been there in a while. They've gone as high as $11 a bird lately. And that's not for the fancy birds either.
